Kaitlyn Mae Parmenter: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Celebrating our Mum’s should definitely occur more than once a year – now I’m one myself, I think we seriously underestimate how wonderful they are!

This year we had a busy day indeed, kicking off with another swimming lesson – this one Dad sat out (wise choice as it was a bloody freezing day!)

The weather didn’t seem to bother our little swimming machine, she didn’t even cry this time as she adjusted to the water.

Our hairy swimming instructor (sorry, it has to be said, she has a beard) gave Kaitlyn a special one-on-one session as it turned out all the rest of the babies were too busy preparing breakfast in bed for their Mums.

Then it was off to lunch with Nan, Pop, Kym, Tim and Dylan. Kaitlyn got in early to help Nan open her presents..

Nan seemed to have her hands full on the day – no doubt ensuring she enjoyed the fact the two little ones could sit in her lap - as it won’t be long until neither are prepared to sit still for that long.

Meanwhile Aunty Kym took a break from showing us how to ski on the WiiFit to pose with Kaitlyn sporting her gorgeous new hair and fab glasses.

While Dylan tried to figure out his dodgy gift from Uncle Ash.

In the evening, we met up with Grandma, Grandad, Jai and Mim for dinner.

And while I received some lovely gifts, the corny thing is, I know my best present is the little one in my arms.

She is so damn near perfect, it’s scary.

In the last fortnight, Kaitlyn has begun attending Gymbaroo – in short a weekly class which babies of the same age partake in activities to promote their development.

We since, we dance and generally have a good old time; the babies seem to enjoy themselves too!

Kaitlyn discovers a new piece of equipment each week; however I’m not so sure the drool she leaves behind is appreciated by the other Mums!

This week we came across a new park near home, and, needless to say, my girl enjoyed every second of her exploration – here are some of the happy snaps shot that afternoon.
